Truth Revealed: International Women's Day 2025: women, sport and changemaking

Truth Revealed Celebrates IWD 2025: women, sport and changemaking

Tune into our IWD discussion on the overlap between leadership, sport, insight and storytelling and how all of these things can drive changemaking.

Did you know that only 4% of global world leaders are women? 

Depressing, right? 

BUT did you also know that over 90% of those women leaders have a background in sport. 

Incredible, right? 

Happy International Women’s Day 2025. 

To celebrate the day and to share some of our experiences and thinking we have made a special edition of Truth Revealed. We spoke to our Truth Consulting MD Dr Matilda Andersson and our partner Ashoka UK ’s director Kelly Davies . 

It just so happens that one of them was the Swedish national junior diving campion (10m platform) and the other is a former pro-footballer who captained most teams she’s played for. 

We were inspired to make the podcast by two sisters from Grangetown in Cardiff who through sheer enthusiasm for the sport and a lot of determination became the first Hijabi referees in Wales. They were supported by Kelly’s organisation Sport for Changemaking in their mission to get ‘On the pitch, on their terms’. We really encourage you to watch their brilliant story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ppUdYERLS8 

Listen in to hear about how sport can set women up for leadership through building skills, resilience, a growth mentality, a culture of greater-good feedback and support. It comes back to insight for changemaking, storytelling to inspire change and being brave enough to do things differently. 

We hope you like the podcast, its practical and we hope a dose of positive inspiration. 

This is just one example of how Truth X Changemakers partners with Ashoka to bring social enterprise and innovation to light and life for brands. 

To learn more please join us on the 13th of March for our coffee morning and panel discussion launch event. We want as many people on this journey with us as possible. Sign up here: Truth X Changemakers Launch Tickets, Thu, Mar 13, 2025 at 8:30 AM | Eventbrite
